BTC, ETH, LINK Get Whales’ Attention as Market Eyes Strong Revival

  • If BTC holds the support at $41,571, the price could push toward $43,000.
  • ETH could drop below $2,484 as it slid below the 20 EMA.
  • LINK’s price increased by 9.53% and could jump as high as $17.50.

The broader crypto market correction seems to have provided an opportunity to buy some cryptocurrencies at a discount with some whales taking advantage of it.  For instance, data from Arkham Intelligence showed that a whale bought 700 Bitcoin (BTC) and withdrew it from Binance.

Coin Edition found that the average buying price of the Bitcoin was $41,948. However, Bitcoin’s price had dropped from that to $41,649 at press time. 

BTC Aims to Flip $42,640

From the technical point of view, the 4-hour chart showed that BTC could potentially revive toward $42,000.

This was because of the indications shown by the RSI. Previously, the RSI had dropped to 32.09 on January 18. However, the reading was 44.56 at press time, suggesting that some major buy orders had come in.

If Bitcoin holds the support at $41,571 and buying pressure increases, the coin could flip the resistance at $42,640. This could foster a run-up to the $43,000 direction. 

Furthermore, the expanding Bollinger Bands (BB) suggests that the increase could be possible since volatility increased. But traders should watch out if BTC breaks below $40,500, a further drop to $39,000 could be on the cards.

ETH Wants Another Bounce

Another cryptocurrency whales bought was Ether (ETH). First, it was Lookonchain who disclosed that a whale purchased 3600 ETH when the price dropped. Interestingly, the same investor has been buying the altcoin for a long time and was in a $25.8 million profit.

Furthermore, on-chain data provider Spot On Chain noticed another whale buying ETH. According to the details, a dormant whale withdrew $13.76 million worth of ETH from Coinbase. 

The same whale has been involved in many transactions which gave him a $31.1million profit between September 2020 and March 2022.

Meanwhile, ETH’s price at press time was $2,484. But from the look of things, the coin might drop further. A look a the EMA on the 4-hour timeframe showed that ETH had dropped below the 20 EMA (yellow).

At press time, the 20 EMA was at $2,497. However, the 9 EMA (blue) was around the same price as ETH. If ETH rises above the 9 EMA, it could trigger a bounce toward $2,550 to $2,600. However, a break below the 9 EMA could validate another slide. 

Chainlink (LINK) was also one token that was involved in the buying spree, Spot On Chain noted. According to the post, a new wallet changed 4.96 million USDC to buy 336,529 LINK. When the wallet purchased LINK, the price was $14.74.

But at press time, the price had increased by 9.53% in the last 24 hours, indicating that the purchase was not in profit.

Signals from the MACD showed that LIK could rise higher than $16.42. That was because the MACD reading was positive, suggesting a good presence of buyers and bullish momentum. Should the momentum improve, LINK’s next move could be to target $17.50.

This potential was also reinforced by the RSI. As of this writing, the RSI was 64.01, meaning that the cryptocurrency was not overbought and hd a strong upside potential.
